Lake Tahoe Vacation
Vacationing in Lake Tahoe
by Jennifer Bailey
Lake Tahoe is a pristine recreational lake area. With high-stake casino gambling and Las Vegas-style entertainment on one side and spiritual retreats and horseback riding on the other, you can't go wrong. Everything you could possibly want is available for the vacation rental - from posh luxurious mansions to rustic lakeside cabins.
There is no other lake recreation area anywhere else in the world with so much to offer. Lake Tahoe ranks as one of the most beautiful and fun places on anyone's top ten list. With a minimum of effort it is possible to find a perfect family vacation, a romantic getaway for two or a spring break experience complete with a no holds barred "what happens here stays here" vibe. It's all here and you can experience as much of it, or as little of it, as you wish.
Whether you prefer that secluded mountain chalet near the ski slopes, that lakeside cabin on the lake or a hotel room with room service and a spa to die for, you can have it with a phone call. Going with a group? There are many facilities to choose from depending on the nature of your group activities. Want to be near the casinos but not right in the thick of things? There are many options to choose from including many only a short walk or ride from the gaming tables.
Want a gated house so secluded even the neighbors don't know it's there? There are houses of all shapes and sizes on beautiful pieces of mountain property to choose from - some that you can live in and maintain on your own and others that come with a full time staff to cater to your every need. Want a small but efficient condo or apartment? They're available. Need accommodations for you and the rest of your family? Just figure out exactly what you need and it's there. Every type of vacation experience, every form of recreation, every convenience is available for the asking at Lake Tahoe.

A Taste of Tahoe
by By Ronda Moll
Just as the majesty of the tall pine trees complement the beauty of the crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe, so does the cuisine of the many fine restaurants visitors can expect to find from Stateline to South Shore.
Whether it's grabbing a burger and fries or relishing a savory bit of filet mignon, the dining options at the lake are limitless and can accommodate any appetite.
Atmosphere is essential to any successful restaurant and for such establishments as the Riva Grill, Llewellyn's, and the Fresh Ketch Restaurant, mesmerizing lakeviews and exceptional cuisine complement each other like the perfect wine selection at dinner.
Known for a classic, Tahoe style ambiance, The Riva Grill located at the Ski Run Marina, has a generous redwood deck that allows its guests to soak in the smell of the tall pine trees and of course the hypnotic view. Entrée selections can range from coconut prawn appetizers and chicken sandwiches for lunch, to herb crusted halibut or a generous steak for dinner. What attracts patrons even more is the "Wet Woody" a frozen concoction of seven different kinds of rum, named after the classic wooden Chris Craft boats that once dotted the lake's shore. Sipping on one of these tropical sensations while gazing out at the snow-capped mountains and pale blue water indeed provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day of leisure.
The paradise feel can be captured once again, in a sleek and sophisticated bar known as the Coco Havana Club. Located at the top of Harvey's Resort and Casino Hotel, the Coco Havana Club is akin to a 1940s nightclub. Situated inside of the resort's culinary high point, Llewellyn's, this smart bar complements the innovative continental cuisine patrons have come to expect from this elegant restaurant. Boasting spectacular views, both the Coco Havana Club and Llewellyn's provide an intimate and relaxing ambiance with the idea of luxury in mind.
For a more casual dining experience, the Fresh Ketch Restaurant at the Tahoe Keys Marina, offers the perfect blend of nautical décor with sunny decks and succulent seafood. From fish and chips to fish tacos, the lunch menu is informal. Weather permitting customers can enjoy a cool glass of iced tea on the sunny deck, while watching the peaceful lull of sailboats sitting peacefully in their slips. For that yacht club feel dinner is hosted in a formal dining area.
With so many restaurants and so little time, it is impossible to list every establishment that puts the "taste" in Tahoe, but if sushi is a favorite, then the Naked Fish, is one of the most popular sushi bars in the area. For those looking for the perfect ravioli, Passaretti's Italian Restaurant has authentic dishes and leaves its patrons feeling full and satisfied.
Just as skiing through untracked powder or jet skiing on the lake are the perfect activities for making a memorable Lake Tahoe vacation, so does ending the day with a great meal while watching the sun set on another perfect day at Lake Tahoe.
